Ohly a Little Extra Time Necessary For It To Be Right Here are ono or two pointers on the difference between a profes. sional manicure and the kind of am- ateur job so many of us slip into because we're "in such a rush, my dear!" It's more a matter of know- jng how than of taking more time. Keep the file. always at right angles to the nall, never run It across so that it nearly parallels : i the nail. This will thin the nail edge, making It more prone to split or break. Don't expect a nail white pencll to do all your bleaching for you, The nails should be scrubbed com- pletely clean beore nail white Is used under the tip. Don't cut cuticle, In the long run, it's a timeosaver to keep cuticle in shape with cuticle remover and nail creant, because you'll have less trouble with hangnails, And don't work on cuticle at all until {t's been softened, first by soaking, then by crea, DO RIGHT HAND FIRST Don't wave fingers in the alr when you're putting polish on, Rest {hem on your manicure pillow, and 11h will go on twice as smoothly. ake time to run polish remover over the nafls first, to be sure they are absolutely free of the Jast trace of oil or soapy water, Take tithe to drain the polish brush at the edge of the bottle so polish won't go on 100 thickly, One last pointer--do your right hand first!

LI I a LAST WEEK: Larry Colilns, ace New York reporter, quits his job to return to Texas to track down the murderers of his brother, Hugh killed in a peculiar accident. A member of the highway patrol, Hugh was killed while trailing nar- cotic smugglers. Driving along, Larry sees a man working on a disabled car, a woman and child beside him. When Larry stops to help, a second man takes Larry's car at gun point. The men drive away. CHAPTER II _ Larry laughed bitterly as his car sped from sight, ! "What a homecoming! 1 wanted to get back to Texas, and I sare did right back to the old soil, on my own (wo feet--" . "What do we do now?' It was the woman with the baby. Larry iad forgotten her, "ues: we'll just sit and wait, unless 1 can make this car g0,"" he told her, then asked: "How did jon get mixed up with a couple of muggs like that? They're prob- ably the two who robbed the bank this morning--" Tears welled into the woman's eyes, and she clutched the baby closer to her. She was young, ob- viously terrified, and trying not to show It, The youngster sucked nois- {ly on his thumb as he tried to keep sleepy-heavy eyes open. "They are the bank robbers. I'm gure of it," the woman explained, "They came to the ranch about noon--we live near the line--they sald they were lost and asked dlr- ections to the highway. Jim--that's my husband--was down in the far pasture fixing a mill. When they found out he wasn't around, they made me bring the baby and come |_with them. They told me they'd kill the baby i I didn't." . ¢And they used you and the youngster 1o get by the patrol men?" Out Of Gas The woman nodded. "I wanted -to yell," she continued, "but the one called Bill and my baby in his arms .and he had told me it the patrolmen suspected anything was wrong, he'd shoot little Jim. I told the officers he was my husband and they let us pass... But what" --her chin quivered--'"what are we going to do now?" "Right now, you and the baby are going to get into the car and try to take a nap, while. I try to start this bus." "But Jim--Jim wlll be worrled." "you'll be home in time to cook Jim's supper, safe and sound," Larry reassured her. "I'd rather those two had my car than have you and the little fellow in danger. Let's see now--wonder what these wires do?" The woman laid the baby on tie rear seat, came back to Larry. "1 think we're out of gas. The gauge shows empty." Larry sat down on the running board, rolled a cigaret, "That wrocks my career as a mechanic. Nothing to do now but walt," The Police Find Them Ten clgarets later, a highway patrol car stopped beside them, A wild-eyed, overallclad rancher jumped from the car, rushed to the woman, 2 "Mary, darling! Avo you all right ~--and little Jim?" Larry walked to the officers, yosognized them as the pair who had stopped him earlier in the day. "Siopped to give a little help, and a couple of guys took my car... Probably the same pair you all were "the pigskin - smartly clad girls at looking for." One of the patrolmen nodded, "Yeah, they got thropgh. This rancher found the car that was used In the bank job when he started looking for his wife. He called the sherift and then rode a horse to the highway, We've been looking for the woman and the haby ever since." The rancher left his wife and con, returned to the patrolmen, "Mary and the baby are all right," he sald. "You want to ask Mary anything about those two?" "No. Your wife's been through enough for one day," one officer answered, "Anyway we've got good descriptions of the men from the cashier of the bank, and the sher- iff is checking their car for finger- prints. We've got a good idea who they are. . . You better get your wife home, now. What's wrong with ~ the car?" "Just out of gas," plied. : "we'll send a mechanic back with some from the first filling station. There's one up the way about 10 miles," He turned to Larry. "What are you going to do?" "Pll ride on into town if it's all right." Gang?of Dope Smugglers Larry telephoned Colonel ilar ris, the highway patrol chief, as soon as he checked info a hotel. "Glad you're here," Harris said. "I've heen waiting for you. I'll be over to see you shortly. Better if you stay away from headquarters. Someone might see you and get to wondering too much about it. . Say--Randolph and Lee had your name on thelr report on that bank robbery. Teo bad you lost your car. We'll try to find ie." Larry started to explain but Har ris cut him off with "See you later," and hung up, (To Be Continued) Small Turkey Helps Budget New Breed Weighing Less _ Than 12 Pounds Is Being De- veloped by State College, Pennsylvania Larry sup- The Christmas turkey of the future, a bird bred to suit small family pocketbooks, has been de- veloped by the Pennsylvania State College department of poultry husbandry. This new breed is small, under 12 pounds, its growth limited by heredity. wild turkeys and domestic, GROWTH LIMITED BY . HEREDITY It is named the Nittany tur- hey in honor of Nittany Moun. tain which overlooks State Col- lege, and probably is close to the size of the turkeys shot in the woods by the Pilgrime when they inaugurated the American Thanksgiving Day. in 1621, This - experiment in heredity took nine years, first in State College laboratories, and then out on Pennyslvania 'farms, until the poultry scientists were sure they had a true-breeding, marketable bird that appealed to diners.

Only Wives Hunt For Missing Mates Many Canadian wives are tooking for missing husbands but so far, say those busy at Ottawa sorting Information contained in national registra. tion cards, husbands don't ap- pear to be looking for missing wives, At the Bureau of Statistics it was said last week that hun. dreds of requests have arrived from 'deserted wives seeking information that might help locate missing husbands. Hus bands have made no queries, While information on reg: istration cards is {reated as confidential (though not spe- cifically stated so by law) so. far as the general public is concerned, it is at the disposal of various Government depart: ments. Household Hints When your light-covered hog- skin gloves look past their prime, make them into a neW pair of brown or black kid gloves: Buy a bottle of shoe dye, put the gloves on your hands and paint them w'tn the little brush attached to the bottle, paying special atten- tion to the seams (if you don't put the gloves on your hands the seams will show up: white later). One bottle will do for several pairs of gloves and realy makes them look like new. . L Ld Have you ever tried fine ashes moistened with vinegar for re- moving stains on yuur crockery?" They are excellent and very eco- nomical. You can make one egg into two by beating the yolk with half a cupful of milk and whipping the white snow-hard be- fore stirring it in, To keep your household towels a good white, wash them in the usual way but add a dessertspoon of vinegar to them when they are boiling. * L . Look after your spring and winter suits; they may have to last a long time! Clip a spring clothes peg over the inverted pleats when not in use and they won't drop or unpleat themselves in the wardrobe. Rinse your hus- band's overalls through very thin starch before hanging out to dry -- next time the dirt and starch will wash out together quite easily. : . * Buy washable cushion with fast color designs, Let Make-Up Look Natural Conspicuous Tricks Should Be Taboo In Daytime covers Some of the younger set who emulate everything done by the favorite Hollywood star are eager to know what lipstick the stars use to give their lips that sheen they always see in their photo- graphs, There are lipsticks that have this iridescent sparkle, but they are oniy for screen makeup. For all other occasions, Hollywood beauties use only .the well-knoxn brands.™" The rule is to keep up- with new products but never adopt conspicuous tricks. All of these are glaring and artificial-looking, and with the vogue for natural. ness you will find the girls of Hollywood are more than willing to leave off anything that sug- gests picture or stage- make-up. They like to k live the aver- age girl. * LOOK LINE AVERAGE GIRL When theNlpsfick is appliea, be sure to blot it with your tis- sues. This will leave the - lips natural looking. When dining in restaurants, it is a bit shock- ing to see red lip marks on the napkin, Don't use your lipstick until after you have finished the dinner. Be generous in the powder ap- plication for your home make- up, then have your little brush remove all excess. Eut in public it will be a light dainty opera- tion. Are Handicaps To Happiness Childishness and Irrespons- ibility Blamed For Wrecked Marriages Combination of a mature body and a childish and immature mind is "one of the worst handicaps to a successful marriage," according to Dr. R. F. Galbreath, president of Westminster College. Dr. Galbreath listed seven qualf- ties pointing to childishness: -un- . controllable temper, uncompromis. ing stubborness, thoughlessness in speech, being "thin-skinned" and easily hurt; indecision in making judgments, irresponsibility, and fears, . "MUST BE MATURE" "To be mature," he sald, "a peo- ple must replace highly emotional tempers with reasoning; stubborn. ness with a compromising attitude; thoughtlessness in speech with con. sideration for others' feelings; ir- responsibility. with thoroughness and accuracy, especially in one's vocation, and fears with courage to follow one's conviction," __. More persons lose their jobs and married happiness through {rre- sponsibility and inability to get along with others than for any oth- or 'reason, Dr, Galbreath asserted. 0 England must have its tea even if hell is raining from the heavens.
